Ills Inwycr, Mr. Cbotnnclle, rdeads his cause, but caunot prevent htm from being sentenced to "twenty days In the shade," which la French; slang for twenty dnvH in Jail, by Touplln des Bonnalres, faiulllarly known as "the terrible Judge. In order to keep this affair from getting to his tvlfc's cars, de Mervlllc Is desperate until Uc vets his old friend, Puntrache, a Bohemian, to bo to ptlson In his place, and promises hliu twenty thousand francs for Imporsonstltig him. Once In prison, Pantruchc makes a friend of his neighbor, "Shorty."'In the next cell, without being able to see him. "Shorty is n criminal of the loweF cjaas, and as soon as he Is out of Jail, goes to aco de Mervlllc, thinking that it was he who was id Fnn- tmi-he's cell.
